PAPER-FILE.

SPECIFICATION. forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,056, dated November '7, 1832.

Application tiled June `2t), 1882. (No model.)

To all whom 'it may concern Y Be it known that I, HENRY H. BLAKE, ot' Chico, county of Butte, State of California, have invented an Improved Paper-File; and I herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to a new and usel'ul paper-tile; and it consists in a stationary pad or stick provided with a groove, and securingpins adapted to be sustained from a wall by means of a bed-plate, in combination with a swinging pad or stick provided with a tongue,

open.

Let A represent a bed-plate, from the top of which extends at right angles a pad or stick, B. 'lhese may be made in one piece, or may be separate pieces secured together.. 1n the face of this pad is made a groove, b, in which are outwardly-projecting pins c.

C is another pad of equal length and thickness with pad B. It is hinged to the'top edge of said pad by means of hinges d upon the back. The inner edge of this pad is provided with a tongue, e, in which holes a, are made to receive the pins when the tongue e is fitted in groove b by the closing of pad C upon pad B.

I) are springs secured to the ends of pad G and to the ends ofthe bed-plate A. These hold pad G down to its place upon pads B; or when said pad C is thrown back they hold it against the back of pad B, thus allowing full access to the pins c for inserting the paper or papers.

A small knob or button, E, may be secured to pad C for convenience in opening or closing it.

The use ofthe device is as follows: It is intended to be secured to the wall, as by screws through holes m in the bed-plate A. This bed plate rests against the wall and the two pads extend therefrom. Vhen the swinging pad C is thrown back the pins c are exposed and the paper or papers may be hung upon them. Then the pad C is drawn forward, its

`tongue e fitting groove b, and its holes a re- ,ance when removed.

By placinga number of my devices around the walls` in suitable places the posters may he inserted or removed with ease and without injuring the wall. They may be madeV ornamental, as by extending upward the bed-plate in any fancy shape and adapting it to hold advertisements.

Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A paper-tile consisting of the bed-plate A, projecting stationary pad or stick B, provided with pins c, swinging pad or stick C, hinged to the front edge of the stationary pad, and provided with holes ci to receive the pins c, and springs D, connecting the swinging pad C ,with the bed -plate A, to hold said pad to the stationary pad, all arranged substantially as herein described.

2. A paper-tile consisting of the bed-plate A, projecting stationary pad or stick B, provided with a groove, b, in its face, and pills c, swinging pad or stitch Q, hinged to the front edge of the stationary pad, and provided with a tongue, e, and holes a, and the springs I), to hold the swinging pad to the stationary pad, all arranged substantially as herein described.

In witnesswhereof I hereunto set my hand.
